Martial Master

Qin Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected this.

"Haha," he couldn't help but laugh.

Hei Nu and the Old Man of Great Sorrow were indeed clever, immediately laying low.

Upon reflection, it made perfect sense. Who was Hei Nu? Back in the day, when his family was annihilated by the Dawei Dynasty, even as a child, he managed to survive through the Blood Beast Mountain Range, escaping from the top forces of the Dawei Dynasty. One could say he grew up amidst life and death struggles, with an intuition for danger far surpassing that of ordinary people.

As for the Old Man of Great Sorrow, he was a top rogue cultivator of the Northern Sky Domain, reaching the mid-stage peak of the Martial Emperor realm even as a rogue cultivator, possessing unparalleled survival skills.

It seemed they had sensed the danger and hid in time.

"Then let's keep looking for them, but be cautious. We don’t want the Enforcement Hall to notice anything,” Qin Chen felt relieved. As long as they hadn’t been captured by the Enforcement Hall, he was at ease.

"Let's go to the Ancestral Land first," Qin Chen said to Ji Dewei.

"Why go to the Ancestral Land?" Everyone looked over in confusion.

Qin Chen glanced at Fu Qiankun in the hall and sighed, “What else? To heal him, of course.”

Although Fu Qiankun didn’t trust him, Qin Chen couldn’t just leave him alone.

Before long, Qin Chen and his group arrived at the Ancestral Land. The Ji Family's Ancestral Land had been restored, filled with a thick prehistoric aura, giving a very shocking feeling.

"Is this... the Ji Family's Ancestral Land?" Fu Qiankun was somewhat stunned by the surroundings. It was his first time here, naturally filled with curiosity.

After arriving at the Ancestral Land, Qin Chen immediately placed Fu Qiankun on the ground.

Buzz!

He placed his right hand on top of Fu Qiankun's head, and an invisible force immediately seeped into his body.

"Are you trying to possess me? Hmph, let me tell you, even those from the Demon Tribe can't possess me. You think you can... huh!" Fu Qiankun said disdainfully.

"Shut up!" Qin Chen scolded, finding the old man annoyingly talkative. How had he not noticed this chatterbox trait back then?

Buzz!

The invisible force spread into Fu Qiankun's body as Qin Chen sensed carefully. It was his first time having the opportunity to thoroughly examine Fu Qiankun's condition.

His gaze immediately sharpened.

"Soul damaged, bloodline destroyed, dantian shattered, this..." Qin Chen gasped. The injuries on Fu Qiankun were severe; treating them was no simple matter.

What kind of torment had Fu Qiankun endured all these years? Qin Chen looked deeply at Fu Qiankun, understanding why he didn’t trust him. With such injuries, ordinary people would have long perished, yet Fu Qiankun stubbornly held on, his fighting spirit undiminished. What kind of belief and spirit was this?

Hoo!

After the examination, Qin Chen withdrew his soul power.

This surprised Fu Qiankun; the other party had merely examined his wounds instead of attempting possession.

"Fu Qiankun, how did you end up with such severe injuries?" Qin Chen originally thought Fu Qiankun's condition could be treated after seeing some recovery in the Heavenly Creation Jade Disc, but after investigating, it seemed daunting.

It was practically incurable.

For Fu Qiankun to survive was already a miracle.

"Haha, now you can’t heal me? I knew you were all just pretending. If you can't, then just let me go. I might actually believe you a little. Otherwise, just detain me instead of this acting. No matter how well you act, I won’t believe you." Fu Qiankun sat cross-legged and ignored Qin Chen.

"Who said I can't heal you?" Qin Chen gave Fu Qiankun a sidelong glance and asked Ji Dewei, "Elder, does your Ji Family have a top-tier alchemy furnace I could borrow?"

"An alchemy furnace, of course, though I don’t know if it meets Young Master Chen’s standards.” Ji Dewei quickly arranged for someone to fetch an alchemy furnace, puzzled. Could Young Master Chen be an alchemist? It was hard to tell.
